Summary
This chapter documents the development and engineering of 11 T dipole magnets based on niobium-tin (Nb₃Sn) superconductor technology at CERN for the High Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider. The work presents design specifications, results from short model and full-length prototype testing, and outlines the production pathway for six units, four of which will be installed in the HL-LHC. The dipoles are expected to be the first Nb₃Sn magnets operational in a particle accelerator as of 2020.
UK applicability
This record falls outside the scope of Vitagri's focus on farming systems, soil health, nutrient density, and human health. It is a particle physics and accelerator engineering document with no direct applicability to UK agricultural or nutritional research.
Key measures
Dipole magnetic field strength (11 T), magnet length (5 m), test performance data, production process specifications
Outcomes reported
The study reports design parameters, short model and 5 m prototype test results, and production specifications for six 11 T Nb₃Sn dipole magnets for the HL-LHC.
